FRYEBURG — Young, but full of potential is how the Fryeburg Academy football team is being described this fall. The Raiders started to show signs of living up to that potential when they went on the road last Saturday and beat Medomak Valley 38-0 in Waldoboro, Maine.
The Raiders jumped on the Panthers early and never looked back in the season-opening season victory.
